History unfolded around two junior South Korean weighlifters in Pyongyang after their national anthem was played and country's flag raised for the first time on North Korean soil.
North Korea's official KCNA news agency reported that Kim Woo-sik and Lee Young-gyun were placed first and second in the Interclub Junior Men's 85-kilo category. They were the only lifters in that division.
The two Koreas have only resumed dialogue in recent weeks after tensions earlier this year appeared to take their frayed ties to the brink of war with Pyongyang threatening missile and nuclear attacks against the South and the United States.
The visit was approved by Seoul's Unification Ministry last week after Pyongyang promised to guarantee the safety of the South Korean delegation
